Total hogwash and regret not buying a bottle of whisky when I was in Tokyo all week at the old $35 plus consumption tax. But at least I hope others won't make the same mistake.
when exactly was it 35?
sure, i remember buying bottles of lagavulin in the mid 90s at LHR for US$40 bucks also.
perhaps this will explain why.
